NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — The Brooklyn Nets’ coaching decision is down to Jason Kidd and Brian Shaw.

Kidd met with general manager Billy King on Monday and Shaw is expected to meet with the team Wednesday. A person with knowledge of the details told The Associated Press that the team has just those two candidates.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the coaching search are not being made public by the Nets.

“The Russians are on board,” a source told the New York Post, referring to Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov.

Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reported that Kidd is the leading candidate, and negotiations “on a possible contract” are underway.

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Kidd is “in line” to join the team on a three-year deal, with an announcement expected later this week.

The knock on Kidd, considered to be one of the NBA’s smartest players, is his lack of coaching experience. It’s been reported that he could sign on former Nets coach Lawrence Frank as an assistant. Kidd is also “targeting” Tim Grgurich for his staff, Yahoo! Sports reported.
